Description

Initially separate from the Underworld, Elysium was reserved for good mortals, heroes, and demigods who had died a hero's death and lived a good life. Chosen by the gods, the souls of mortals and demigods who have been good, righteous, and/or heroic, would remain after death to live a blessed and happy eternal death, and indulge whatever employment they had enjoyed in life.

Elysium is a valley surrounded by walls, a gated community from which one could hear laughter and smell barbecue cooking. It has neighborhoods of beautiful houses from every time period in history such as Roman villas, medieval castles, and Victorian mansions. It also has flowers of silver and gold blooming on the lawns, and grass rippling in rainbow colors.

Compared to the Fields of Asphodel and even the Fields of Punishment, Elysium was one of the fewer realms in the Underworld which also contains the Isles of the Blest. The Isles of the Blest is a large island that resides in Elysium, and borders the lands or fields of Elysium. It is described as having shady parks with residents indulging their athletic and musical pastimes and surrounds a lake. If heroes chooses to be reborn three times and achieve Elysium in all three, they are invited to the Isles of the Blest.

Elysium was described to be "Paradise, Las Vegas, and Disneyland rolled into one", the place where good souls went after death. They would have a house of their own and enjoy "five-star service" for whatever they needed.

Hazel Levesque is given the chance to go to Elysium for successfully stopping Alcyoneus from rising, but her mother will be sentenced to the Fields of Punishment for her greed and selfishness. Hazel thinks this is unfair and begs that her mother will be spared as in the end, she tried to save them both and the judges allow them to go to the Fields of Asphodel. Whilst in Asphodel, she sees the artificial sunlight reflecting off the water and sees heroes sunbathing, in Elysium and the Isles of the Blest, when she takes Frank Zhang with her in one of her flashbacks.
